Andrew: Yes, perhaps a slight rotation and even a slight rectilinear adjustment.

Roel: I did desaturate this in Lightroom. I started with Lightroom's "Sepia" preset and made various tonal adjustments from there.

Lou: I might have already removed the clutter in the lower left-hand corner had I not considered it thematically essential.

Mike: Worry is in the eye of the beholder.

Mr.NoFlash: A high-contrast treatment might be quite effective but it's not typically my approach. I like to use contrast sparingly.

A few words about my own intentions for this image: To me it depicts a figure standing in the light, turned away from the banal practicalities and worries of everyday life, perhaps seeking or longing for something else. Real is, however, real.
